  • the present invention relates to mixtures comprising, as active components the Bacillus strains AP-136, AP-188, APP-218, AP-219, AP-295, AP-209 and/or AP-217 and a pesticide.
  • Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AP-136, AP-188, AP-218, AP-219, AP-295 , Bacillus mojavensis AP-209 and Bacillus solisalsi AP-217 are known from US 2012/0149571, the content of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. They have been described therein specifically as inoculants for promoting the plant defense response against herbivorous insects.
  • the strain B. amyloliquefaciens AP-136 has been deposited with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Nov. 5, 2009 under accession number (acc. no.) NRRL B-50330 and on Dec. 2, 2011 under acc. no. NRRL B-50614.

  • a pesticide is generally a chemical or biological agent (such as a virus, bacterium, antimicrobial or disinfectant) that through its effect deters, incapacitates, kills or otherwise discourages pests.
  • Target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, spread disease or are vectors for disease.
  • Biopesticides have been defined as a form of pesticides based on micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, etc.) or natural products (compounds, such as metabolites, proteins, or extracts from biological or other natural sources) (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/). Biopesticides fall into two major classes, microbial and biochemical pesticides:
  • Microbial pesticides consist of bacteria, fungi or viruses (and often include the metabolites that bacteria and fungi produce).
  • Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances or or structurally-similar and functionally identical to a naturally-occurring substance and extracts from biological sources that control pests or provide other crop protection uses as defined below, but have non-toxic mode of actions and are relatively non-toxic to mammals.
  • Biopesticides for use against crop diseases have already established themselves on a variety of crops. For example, biopesticides already play an important role in controlling downy mildew diseases. Their benefits include: a 0-Day Pre-Harvest Interval, the ability to use under moderate to severe disease pressure, and the ability to use in mixture or in a rotational program with other registered pesticides.
  • biopesticides under certain conditions can also have disadvantages such as high specificity: which may require an exact identification of the pest/pathogen and the use of multiple products to be used, slow speed of action (thus making them unsuitable if a pest outbreak is an immediate threat to a crop), variable efficacy due to the influences of various biotic and abiotic factors (since biopesticides are usually living organisms, which bring about pest/pathogen control by multiplying within the target insect pest/pathogen) and resistance development.
  • It is an object of the present invention overcome the abovementioned disadvantages and to provide, with a view to effective resistance management and effective control of phytopathogenic harmful fungi, insects or other pests or to effective plant growth regulation, at application rates which are as low as possible, compositions which, at a reduced total amount of active compounds applied, have improved activity against the harmful fungi, insects or other pests or improved plant growth regulating activity (synergistic mixtures) and a broadened activity spectrum, in particular for certain indications.
  • the invention can also result in an advantageous behavior during formulation or during use, for example during grinding, sieving, emulsifying, dissolving or dispensing; improved storage stability and light stability, advantageous residue formation, improved toxicological or ecotoxicological behaviour, improved properties of the plant, for example better growth, increased harvest yields, a better developed root system, a larger leaf area, greener leaves, stronger shoots, less seed required, lower phytotoxicity, mobilization of the defense system of the plant, improved compatibility with plants.
  • the present invention relates to mixtures comprising, as active components
  • the mixtures comprise at least one microorganism of the genus Bacillus seleted from B. amyloliquefaciens AP-136 (NRRL B-50330; NRRL B-50614), B. amyloliquefaciens AP-188 (NRRL B-50331; NRRL B-50615), B. amyloliquefaciens AP-218 (NRRL B-50618), B. amyloliquefaciens AP-219 (NRRL B-50332, NRRL B-50619), B. amyloliquefaciens AP-295 (NRRL B-50333, NRRL B-50620) B.
